Recommendation

With US president Donald Trump’s trade policy toward China becoming increasingly adversarial, a trade war between the world’s two largest economies is becoming a real possibility. An editorial published on China’s English-language news portal Caixin Global lays out a Chinese take on the Sino-US trade relationship. It also gives recommendations on how Beijing can avoid an economic tit-for-tat that, it says, will benefit no one. getAbstract recommends the concise opinion piece to everybody interested in considering the current trade confrontation from a Chinese perspective.

Take-Aways

  • Trade tensions between the United States and China have intensified since US president Donald Trump took office in 2017.
  • Trump has threatened to take action against America’s large trade deficit with China, as well as retaliate against alleged intellectual property theft and dumping practices. 
  • China’s increased ability to compete in sectors which the United States has traditionally dominated is eroding Americans’ faith in the mutually beneficial nature of the trade relationship.
